well-versed and not afraid to get their hands dirty and this kind of stuff.

But that's not the case at every business.

You know, some places don't have that.

Awesome.

Well, as is kind of our little nerdy tradition here, we have a kind of a round-robin question at the end that's usually a lot of fun.

So five years out, do you expect we'll celebrate a productivity boom or regret a flood of low-quality output that we have dumped onto the world?

What should we be looking out for?

I agree.

Yeah.

What I would say is that there's... I think just like with everything else we do, you know, I always lean toward content because I've worked in publishing for so many years.

But in any field, I mean, let's go back to the 1970s when mass production really...

really kind of ramped up it was like like okay we figured out how to mass produce just about everything and and the quality of stuff went down and i'm going to mention guitars because that's a subject i know well and when you look at 70s era gibsons there are lots of changes that were made specifically to cut costs a little bit here and make changes a little here

You know, so I think we're going to be looking at something a lot like that where, yeah, there's going to be some bad stuff out there, but there's always been some garbage out there.

It's not an idea that's new.

What I hope we'll also see is a shift away from AI as a thing that needs to be caught or detected.

in favor of the idea that something is either good or it's bad and and and none of the rest really matters that the rest is just noise either either either this thing is good or it is not good regardless of how many m dashes and semicolons it might happen to have in its toolbox i uh

I really feel like there's going to be a difference there, but yeah, I think we'll definitely look back and be like, Oh, I remember those days on some things like, uh, you know, we're going to look back at a lot of three fingered early Dolly photos.

We're going to look at, uh, you know, uh, early attempts at social media with AI that are going to be really cringy and bad, but truth is they're probably all going to be cringy and bad.

So we may not be able to notice the difference as, as time goes, but, uh,
